Chapter 2, The first dream.
The last soft water drops landed on skin when he turned of the water. He had taken an extra long shower and felt very refreshed. All thoughts from before had gotten vague, a wave of tiredness came over him as he towelled himself dry. Slowly making his way to his room he noticed his parents weren't sitting together as they usually did in the evening but he was too tired to give it any thought. In his room he dropped onto the bed, sighing peacefully and as soon as his head touched his pillow, he was in dreamland.
Wind blew through the trees, making the leafs dance and sparkle in the sunlight. Sounds of running water could be heard, though it couldn't be raining. Shinya turned, in search for the direction the watery sounds came from. It was east, into the forest. Without any hesitation he made his way into the shade, under the roof of entwined twigs and green. Minutes passed, but the effort wasn't for nothing, the sounds were really close now. He passed a few more trees and sunlight greeted his face. He closed his eyes and slowly opened them again, adjusting to the sudden light. In front of him; a rocky wall raised up above the trees, water running down into the little pool at the foot. It was a beautiful sight.
As sudden as he had met the light, a shadow came over him and the ground started shaking. Shinya looked up and his eyes widened in disbelieve. A large blue dragon had landed on top of the rocks. It's big yellow eyes were like the sun, piercing right through him.
Even though he thought he should have been scared, his heart did not step out of it's normal beat. But what he felt was not fear, but more of a wind of silence... a peace inside him arose from the depths of his mind and flowed through his body. Who or whatever this feeling was, it was clear to him that he had lost his control over his body. The eyes blinked once... twice... The sensation of calmness kept flowing through his veins as the eyes came closer and closer. He was sure of it! this dragon was the most beautiful apparition he had ever seen... wait... did this creature not look familiar? Was this the same dragon he had seen at the pond in the park? He was unsure, but his thoughts stopped quite abruptly as the dragon once more blinked and stared at him with it's peaceful eyes. It's mouth slowly dropped as it was going to speak. Words flowed over the creature's lips like the notes of the most perfect song. It was such a perfect voice that rang through his head as the creature spoke that what it wanted to say. And even though he could not hear the words it said, he still understood that what it's thoughts were. "I promised you I would come this night."
Shinya suddenly felt the control coming back to his body and immediately said what he had been wanting to say from the start, "Are you my brother?" He felt a sudden pull and his head started hurting. Next everything went black.
